What about Suzuki Sling Shot? I have something to tell about this bike. I own the 2010 model Suzuki Sling Shot. The bike has run up to 35000 km till April 2017. It had delivered a mileage around 50-60 km/l. But this bike is now dead. Suzuki never updated the Slingshot. Hence, it died. So sad.

Go with Super Splendor, since last 4 years. I am using it in Pune. And till date it gives me more than 70 kmpl. Initially it was giving 82 kmpl. but then I was driving above 70 speed. so it reduced to 70 kmpl. I always do servicing from Authorised Service Station of Hero. Hence, Now I am again going to buy once again Hero bike.

Me and my friend have all types of bike , my friend I gone to Missouri my uncle’s house a hilly area and high slopes new hero bike fails to move up. If you live in plain area then glamour and super slender is fine , but honda, yamaha engine is far better than others . Yamaha old engine are as smooth as new engine but costly parts honda have good resale value too + good engine , tvs is waste of money and if you only focus on milage go for bajaj give high returns if you are in sales job but after 5 years you cannot use bajaj bikes so much problem in engine . For a govt and Pvt employee go for honda. For speedy heroes go for yamaha and pulsar and for salesman ct100 or hero splendor plus. I have never seen a man selling yamaha bikes until u are unemployed. But glamor gives relax drive in plain 50km ride with good milage too , ( I only talked 100-150cc engine)

I am dissatisfied with the Honda Shine which i am riding for more than a year. Not a good bike. Don’t like the engine which as per today’s standard may be outdated technology. Especially if riding for long hours it’s giving backpain. Earlier i had a Suzuki Samurai and then used to ride TVS Victor for sometime. In terms of comfort Victor ride is the best. Even after very long rides, one will never feel any pain and the comfort that it gives while riding speaks itself of the ergonomics of that bike. Today i am looking for a bike that can give the same ergonomics with all the features other modern bikes provide.

Hero glamour is the best bikeI have hero glamour from 2 years and i have not any problem in itIt never stops during drive and no engine vibration comfortable seat and good control and stylish look and i observed the top speed 127km/hSo i suggest you to buy hero glamour

Hero bikes engine is not so good as compare to Honda , Suzuki or Yamaha engine . Yes it give good milage parts easily available. I suggest if you live on hilly area or for long drive don’t use this bike go for honda shine if 125 cc ,

take honda shine sp it have 5 speed transmission and 65 kmpl and it have a long seat to be seated with your family where does not get like this transmission it have only 4 speed transmission and it doesnt have big seat and the shine is solid and powerfull it have another feature thats called is it have viscous air filter that have to change in 10000 kms but glamor gets normal airfilter you get the service in 3800kms only isuggest the honda shine because no 1 selling 125 cc bike in india

What about Saluto? Now it is on road since approx a year. Among Glamour & Saluto, which is better. According to me any bike must be studied on parameter like Comfort (road grip, driving pleasure, quality of suspensing) Durability, maintenace & mileage.

Sales of Honda Shine may be great, but performance of its Engine in long run is not good. After riding more than 20,000 km, it starts giving trouble. Even if someone uses his bike in traffic more frequently & if use of clutch is high than problem is much higher and earlier. Another problem is stability and road grip. Probably in no review durability is studied.

My vote to Hero Honda Glamour. Its MIcrcontroller infection version gives good mileage for a 125 cc class.It is just the right power needed for a city commuter.Handling easy. i ve been rough using it and it takes it well.For the cost its worth. Parts/ service are cheap too.what more do you want?
